Editorial policy

This policy describes how content reaches the public site. It is enforced partly by process and partly by the build itself: a record that has not been approved does not generate a page.

Sourcing

• Substantive scientific claims are sourceable. Where a claim cannot be sourced, it is removed rather than softened.
• Papers, authors, identifiers and trial numbers are never invented. A citation that has not been checked carries a visible unverified marker rather than passing silently.
• Primary research and official sources are preferred. Review articles and secondary sources are labelled as such.
• Regulatory statements link to the authoritative source and are not inferred from context, from other jurisdictions, or from how a product is marketed.
• Sources that change over time carry an access date.

Language about evidence

• Evidence is reported by level: in vitro, animal, early human, established clinical. Levels are never merged.
• Absence of evidence is stated explicitly. A section is never left blank to imply nothing needs saying.
• Cautious constructions such as “has been investigated in” are used in preference to “treats” or “works for”.
• Mechanisms under investigation are not presented as demonstrated outcomes.

Approval

Every compound record enters the dataset marked as requiring both scientific and regulatory review. Approval requires a completed scientific review, a completed regulatory review with a cited source, a written safety interpretation and at least one reference. A record whose regulatory status is unconfirmed, prescription-only, unlicensed or experimental cannot be approved without an explicit sourced sign-off, and the build fails if it is.

What this site does not publish

No pricing, availability, ordering routes, discount codes, testimonials, before-and-after imagery, dosage calculators, cycle protocols, reconstitution calculators or administration instructions. No metadata is written to attract transactional searches for medicines, and no product or offer structured data is emitted.
